Report: Tividale 0 Stocksbridge Steels 0
A first clean sheet but still only a point – Tividale's 11th draw of the season would have been on last if filmed for Match of the Day.
Steels had a let-off within seconds of the kick-off, Jason Chilton's cross forcing visiting goalkeeper Dave Reay into frantic back-pedalling before the ball pinged off the bar.
That apart, neither keeper was unduly troubled in the first period and while Stocksbridge had the better of the play, they were limited to long-range efforts from Rory Coleman and Harrison Biggins.
The second half was a little better. Tividale keeper Tom Turner got down well to save from Scott Ruthven and with just five minutes to go produced a fine save to deny Steels substitute Brodie Litchfield.
Two minutes later it was Tividale's turn to threaten.
A long through ball was flicked on by Tividale's Demetri Brown and looped over Reay, only for the goalkeeper to cover the ground in superb fashion and tip the ball over the bar.
Stocksbridge may feel they were unfortunate not to be awarded an injury time penalty when Tividale defender Luke Wright appeared to have handled the ball on the line while blocking a Ruthven shot.
But the referee did not agree and in the end the Evo-Stik First Division South points were shared.
